These sunscreens use both mineral filters (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) and chemical filters (homosalate, octocrylene) as active ingredients that block UVB radiation.
The group includes products labeled SPF 30, SPF 32, SPF 50, and SPF 60.
In these products, “broad spectrum” indicates protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Finishes vary: some are tinted or sheer to avoid white cast, others offer matte or dewy sheens, and a few include a green tint to help blur redness.
Many formulas are lightweight, fast-absorbing, or sheer and are noted to blend well under makeup, often providing a dry or matte finish preferred for layering.
